Hi all,

As you know we have launched the new mobile site, we know it's a big change and we are still very keen to get it right with your help. This is very much a version that will evolve with your help as part of the testing process.

There have been a few glitches that have/are being ironed out and the HUGE thread has nearly maxed out, so we thought it best to start a shiny new one.

We know change is tricky but, as with most things MN, we are all ears and happy to look at any feedback you have on ways we can improve the new site.

Thanks all Thanks

As of 15 minutes ago, it's started showing ALL messages in a thread (even though my customize settings on desktop and mobile say 25 per page - nothing else besides bookmark (changed back and forth to see if that is what caused it but it's not) has been changed) and it's not giving me any option to change it back.

Oh and bookmarks is still not working - same problems as PinkSquash.

MultipleMama · 22/08/2014 17:41

PolterGoose I think they could easily sort that by using "SN:" instead of "Special Needs:", do you think same?

Ack! Will try to find out what's happening before Tech head off

Anyone having this trouble who's NOT on a Samsung?

RowanMumsnet · 22/08/2014 17:45

@PolterGoose

Can you see how the SN topics are so foreshortened you have no idea what they are?

Oh dear yes, that is a bit useless isn't it. Will add!

Just a point with the All On One Page button - I have my settings for 100 posts per page to help speed up loading times, so I don't want to to make a permanent switch, but every so often for particular thread I would do All On One Page to be able to search particular words on the page or when they're about to be deleted

That's 2 tech comments that have been deleted for breaking guidelines - hope things are not getting too fraught techs! Have some Brew and Cake
so want to know what they said

Thanks for all the hard work, tis becoming more and more usable.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 22/08/2014 18:19

Thanks for lots of the changes already made MNHQ. I'd still really like a 'my topics' somewhere, perhaps in the drop down menu. Apologies if it is already around, I couldn't find it!

wantacatplease · 22/08/2014 18:20

Do you think Bruno's comment was something like "Fuck you. Fuck you all. How's that for a personal attack?!?!?!?!?!"

KateBeckett · 22/08/2014 18:20

Not really, have to expect some teething troubles.

tribpot · 22/08/2014 18:27

I opted not to MN whilst I was away on holiday - nice and restful.

There's obviously a reason why you can't revert to the old site, unless your devs have drunk the Koolaid and actually believe in fail forward as the only solution (to triggering epilepsy?). Making the change immediately prior to a bank holiday weekend was probably not the wisest course of action.

The speed of the mobile site was absolutely terrible, I don't think there's a response on that above?

Not specifically recruiting beta testers with accessibility needs was ludicrous. What on earth were you thinking?

shakethetree · 22/08/2014 18:30

Lolz - I bet he said, 'why don't you just fuck off & get a life you bunch of whinging losers'

& who'd blame him? Grin

icanmakeyouicecream · 22/08/2014 18:40

I cannot actually believe you've done this.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 22/08/2014 18:43

So what exactly did your beta testers do? How can there be so many glitches with a programme that is supposedly ready to go live?
Crap.

Pipbin · 22/08/2014 18:52

Thank you for the improvement to TIO now.
It's is all rather slow and clunky now though.
